Fair. I considered them as well, but as far as I know you need to have your domain registered with godaddy to use custom domains on "common" user or family accounts.
I think even their SMB offering is with godaddy unless you are a larger customer.
I'm heavily considering something like that because I'm basically responsible for my aging moms digital life and it's annoying as shit that I'm on proton while she is on some random bootleg gmail that I'm slowly, but not yet completely migrated over to a standard gmail.
I get the instinctive dislike for google, or at least more than microsoft. My personal preference towards google (in a lesser of the two evils kinda way) is that their stuff doesn't integrate to your PC as deeply as microsoft.
If you accidentally log in to any microsoft shit it will worm it's way into every other software somehow even if you didn't want it to.
This causes issues for me at work (when someone calls in after a corporate merger that they accidentally logged in to their old account and now all kinds of shit is fucked) so I guess I just don't want to deal with it at home.
Google is less integrated at least on desktop and I don't care about it on my phone because I already assume they got everything on me there.
Adding microsoft spyware to the mix seems superfluous.
My biggest concern is getting locked out as I'm in eastern europe and I think Russia was already locked out. I'm not big into politics, but the US has used these tech companies and access to their services as a weapon before.
Kinda worried. Also getting banned randomly because I used adblock or something would hurt. So that's a negative for google, I don't think microsoft would give a crap.
Proton is the only non-US provider that is also big enough to rely on, with a support you actually can contact... but they just suck. It works, but I'd like more polish as I'm 30+ I just want as little friction as possible.
It's hard.
